Diversity and Equality
KAZ Minerals is committed to building a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace where everyone is treated fairly and has equal access to opportunities. Our goal is to create a workforce that reflects the demographics of the countries in which we operate and to foster a culture where all employees feel supported and valued.
Equal opportunity and non-discrimination
The Group has procedures in place to ensure that no employee or candidate is discriminated against on the basis of age, gender, race, nationality, ethnic origin, family situation, maternity, paternity or disability. Any reported cases of discrimination or harassment are investigated in line with internal protocols.
All recruitment, selection and promotion decisions are made based on merit and aligned with our corporate values. Every employee has access to training and development opportunities suited to their role, experience and potential.
National representation
As of 31 December 2024, 98% of permanent employees were nationals of the countries where we operate. The Group prioritises the development of local talent through training and leadership programmes, aiming to build long-term operational expertise within the existing workforce.
When international expertise is required, expatriates are employed with a focus on knowledge transfer. These roles are primarily located at Aktogay and Bozshakol, working alongside national teams.
Gender representation and inclusion
The Group is committed to improving gender balance at all levels. Up to three years of maternity or paternity leave is offered, along with re-induction training for returning employees.
KAZ Minerals has a higher proportion of female employees than the industry average for major mining companies:
21% of total employees are female
25% of senior management roles are held by women
Pay and progression
We regularly review salaries to ensure equal pay for equivalent roles, helping prevent gender pay disparities. Training, promotion and development opportunities are made equally available across the workforce.
